Energy Conservation
New dwellings require SAP calculations. Extensions with large amounts of glazing may also require a SAP calculation to ensure compliance.
Energy Performance Certificates are required for new dwellings at end of works and air tightness tests will usually be required as part of ensuring energy efficiency for these projects.
Planning may often ask for additional items under ‘optional requirements’.
Building Control Surveyors Ltd can help advise you on any of these matters or refer you to one of our listed consultants at no fee.
Access for the disabled
Access and facilities for the disabled need to be considered; a level entrance is usually required for new houses, together with a toilet on the entrance storey (door opening outwards), additional ‘optional requirement’ covered under your planning conditions.
Acoustics
Acoustic testing is required for all new dwellings.
Structure
Often structural calculations are required in support of the design – for steel beams in lofts or over openings, or for unusual foundations etc.
